    Went on a Sunday night to the Paddy's Pub pop up. It wasn't very busy given the day of the week, but we enjoyed that. Drinks were good, and they had food available though we didn't order any as we didn't think it would be offered and made other plans. Definitely worth while if you are a fan of the show.

    We loved the paddy’s pub pop up bar! We love it’s always sunny in Philadelphia and this bar did it justice. It had quirky reminders of the show all over the place. A great job and well done!

    They were severely understaffed. It took 15 minutes of standing at the door before we got seated, and it was 45 minutes after ordering that we finally got our drinks. The one waitress and one bartender who were present did what they could, but the whole experience was a letdown and wasn't how my partner and I wanted to spend his birthday.

    The food and drinks were amazing, we had the Dread Pirate Roberts, Bottle of Wits, I’m not a witch, and an Iocane powder to drink. My personal favorite was the Dread Pirate Roberts, it was smooth and fruity. My least favorite was the Bottle of Wits as it tasted very strongly of mint but I did enjoy the keepsake bottle it came in. To eat we enjoyed the MLTA, the Sicilian, and the I Don’t Believe They Exist for dessert. Great portion sizes and delicious on everything. The atmosphere was amazing as were the workers. Would definitely visit here again.

    I made a reservation for a table, and even had to hold it with a down payment. When we arrived we were asked to sit at the bar, because the dining area was “very full”. I asked for a table, since that is what I reserved and paid for. We sat for 30 minutes, with no service. Not even water was brought to the table. I approached the bar and asked if I could order drinks there, and was told I would have to wait at my table. After 35 minutes of no service, we left. The music was loud and atrocious. The set up of the restaurant was laughable ( and not in a good way). The tables were dirty. The management was non existent. I would really like my down payment returned.

    Food and service was good 👍🏼👍🏼 drinks were good, different but fun to taste and share new concoctions. That said, our glasses were CRAMMED full of ice, could not stir the drinks without ice going everywhere, had to remove a bunch to our water glasses. Which means, we paid $13 for a half a drink... not the best bang for your buck. Ambience was fun. Thought there would be a little more interaction/automation, maybe Wesley could have twitched periodically or sounds of electric current or r.o.u.s' screeching . We still had a good time hanging with our peops tho. Maybe a TV in the opposite corner for those of us with backs to the bar. Have to say my MLT was tasty. a schmere of mayo would have been good, but we were told the chef never came thru with the sauce and I failed to ask about mayo, but still good. Enjoyed the music, not much available in the movie obviously but maybe a few more Celtics type songs 🤔 We'd definitely check into another event Thanx for a good time

    It was ok. I was hoping for something more than it ended up being so a little disappointed. It is a cute idea but the execution is less fabulous than it might otherwise be

    It was too loud. Table of 5 next to us we're screaming across table at each other and using foul language. My husband had to sit next to me on beach at a 2-person table. Drinks were too pricey. Food was ok.

    I am definitely a fan of the Apparition Pop ups now and only wish that I had been aware of them before now. So many fun ones that have already happened that I missed. The M.L.T. actually had Mutton!!

    This was a magical, intimate, and fun filled night. The decor had scenes from the movie, on top of other decor that made it cozy. The menu was names after quotes and scenes - drinks were amazing. Food was good, average - which is fine, not overly fancy. There was music bingo on Tuesday night which brought us all together in sing alongs. There was only a few staff who did an amazing job with a great attitude. It did take while to get food.

    What a fun pop-up concept! There was wasted space with a couple of vignettes set up to relate to movie scenes. But my large group had plenty of room. The drinks were delicious but overpriced. The food looked delicious, but we had already decided we were going elsewhere after cocktails for our evening meal.

    We had a good time and the decorations were good. My husband had the No more Rhymes with Peanut Butter whisky and really liked it. I had the Dreaming of Large Woman and it was sweet. Our table had the poutine fries and calamari and both were good.

    Staff was outstanding. They made the bar come to life. Plus they were incredibly helpful and patient with my oversized party. Decor was on point and so fun! The cocktail list was dizzying but so many delicious choices. Plenty of food options too - though could have used a few more/bigger variety. Overall very pleased with the experience. Thanks!!

    The atmosphere was great. The decor was amazing and the overall idea of this was right up our alley. However, we did not have a good experience. The website said there was trivia on Thursdays, which was the biggest draw for us, but there wasn't. There was a full house and a total of one cook, one bartender and one waiter which meant the service was SLOW. I looked up the menu beforehand and was really excited about 3 of the drinks and planned on trying them all, but the service was so slow I was able to have one. It was delicious and I wish I could have tried the others. We were there almost an hour and a half and for the last 45 min our waiter never came to the table. He did, however, chat it up with another table for a significant amount of time. We ordered one appetizer and I had planned on eating more, but our patience ran out and we just ended up leaving. This was disappointing as we paid for these reservations and it was supposed to be a fun date night for us. We wanted to love it, we really did.

    Great time, although there were a couple of menu items we were looking at that were unavailable which was a bummer. The value isn't tremendously great if it were just the food/drink, but it's all about the experience and it delivered on that front.
